Beiwan, the weather is cold, people wear thick fur coats, wrap themselves tightly, if the cold wind into the collar, it must be up and down cool.

A carriage drove into the Beiwan King City against the cold wind, and it was the envoy who sent the Great Plains back. At this time, on the palace of the royal city, the ministers were deliberating, and it was very lively.

When the gatekeeper brought the news of Mr. Messenger's return to the king of Beiwan, the king of Beiwan and all the ministers were full of anticipation, hoping to hear a good news, and they were all in high spirits. Only Guan Zhen, who was standing in the very corner, lowered his head and did not react to this. Maybe he lost hope because he knew what kind of person Emperor Ohara-like he was.

Guan Zhen said in Beiwan that he was an auxiliary official appointed by Emperor Dayuan to help the new king ascend the throne, but in fact, he was the supervisor of the emperor who supervised King Beiwan here. In the eyes of King Beiwan's people, this person is the eyeliner arranged by Emperor Ohara's distrust of him.

King Beiwan was not wrong, this is also the case, since the emperor wants him to assist the government, he naturally wants to go to the court to participate in the deliberations. In order not to cause trouble, he stood in the most remote corner by himself, for fear of quarrels with others or something.

But even though he endures it, there will still be people who look at him unpleasantly, and his words are all about Sang scolding Huai, as long as he doesn't name him, he will have to get by, who made his current identity so embarrassing!

From the moment Emperor Ohara said that he would be placed in this Beiwan royal city as an auxiliary officer, he knew his situation. Yuanxiang ion, this is a kind of torture given to him by the emperor, and it is also a warning.

When he learned that the envoy had returned, the house was full of joy.

But when the envoys passed on the original words of Emperor Ohara to the main hall, the hall was full of noise and discussions, and the king of Beiwan was furious on the spot, threw the tea bowl, and frightened the ministers to kneel on the ground.

King Beiwan said angrily: "Emperor Dayuan really looks down on me Beiwan, two thousand stone grain, how to hand it over, doesn't he know that I am mainly nomadic herding?" Unlike his big plains, the fertile fields of Pingchuan are called 'the granary of the world', and the rich grain wants me, a nomad, to pay tribute to grain, which is a joke! Otherwise, he would try to hold Beiwan as the king for a few days, and if I were the king in Dayuan, it would not be like this. ”

The ministers listened to the king's more and more arrogant, so they had to speak out to persuade the king to calm his anger, after all, there is a Dayuan person in this court, if these disrespectful words reach the ears of the Dayuan Emperor, it will be troublesome.

King Beiwan continued to vent, "What are you afraid of, isn't the emperor Lao'er just putting his eyes and ears on me, Beiwan?" I'm still afraid that he won't be able to pass on the letter, the emperor has never believed me at all, and he hasn't believed me Beiwan! ”

The more I listened, the more wrong it became, and this gradually insinuated that he included himself in these words, Guan Zhen was very helpless. He asked himself, it has been more than three years since he came to Beiwan, and he has not passed any words against the peace, and he has basically not passed the letter this year, and he is suspected by the emperor of having different intentions, alas, he is now not a person on both sides.

Gradually, those ministers also aimed at Guan Zhen.

The first minister said: "I said auxiliary officer, you are a dignified native of the Great Plains, how can you not speak?" ”

Another minister said: "I thought he could speak, and we have treated each other well all these years, just so that when we ask for help and Ohara one day, I hope that the auxiliary political officer can help to speak." ”

Someone followed suit and said: "The king is right, what auxiliary officials are the eyes and ears of Emperor Ohara." ”

The ministers were very dissatisfied, "The people of Dayuan are really wolf ambitions, and asking us to hand over 2,000 stone of grain is undoubtedly to drive us to a dead end." ”

Guan Zhen was in the corner, and he didn't refute, let them make a statement, at this time he was angry, as soon as he spoke out, it was bound to be a war of words, meaningless, and a waste of saliva.

One of the ministers said: "According to Emperor Ohara's current meaning, whether we can hand it over or not, we must pay it." It doesn't matter if we pay it all or not, it's a sin. ”

After saying so many useless words, someone finally got to the point of the problem. Now that it is all handed over, it was said before that no food is a bully, and it is a great disrespect to not pay evenly. Guan Zhen finally heard a useful word, and looked forward to the person who made such a statement, that was the prime minister of Beiwan, and there was finally someone who understood.

The ministers didn't use their brains to speak before, but now that they think about the prime minister's words, this is indeed the case, and they can't help but be silent. It didn't take long for the discussion to start again.

"According to the prime minister's meaning, we can't advance or retreat now, is there no way?"

"No, Emperor Ohara, is he really going to force us to a dead end?"

"We can't sit still, it's a death horizontally and vertically, it's better to fight, he doesn't give us a chance, we have to fight for it ourselves."

“......”

The ministers talked a lot, Guan Zhen didn't make any remarks, and staying out of the matter was his only choice.

He is in a precarious situation in this situation, maybe the two countries have not yet started a war, and he is already a prisoner, or he has become a puddle of dust.

At his age, he should have enjoyed the joy of family, but he chose to be in a foreign country, far away from his homeland, and away from his son for a long time. If you insist on asking him if his heart is balanced, he must be unbalanced, and everything he has today is the selfish work of Emperor Ohara.

He thought of his only son, his heart was sour, and he kept shouting in his heart "Twilight, Twilight, ......Twilight", he lost his mother since he was a child, raised by his mother, he fought on the battlefield all the year round, and did not accompany him much, over the years, the only thing he gave him was to take him to endure a lot of hardships, suffer a lot of sins, temper his temperament, and experience the ability to go to the battlefield. It was precisely because he neglected his love and let him enter the battlefield and experience life and death too early, so that he was young and successful, and he could take charge of himself.

In his trance-like thoughts, the discussion was over, and he didn't know what was going on in the main hall, and he didn't care. He followed the ministers out of the main hall and walked out of the city, and in a trance he heard someone shouting, he stopped, and saw the envoy coming towards him with a smile on his face, and he stood still waiting for the envoy to come.

Guan Zhen hurriedly greeted, "Your Excellency! ”

He saluted, and the envoy returned the salute, and then took out a package and gave it to him.

Mr. Envoy said: "This is what General Duyuan asked me to bring to you, let me ask you to take care of your body, he is all right, so don't worry about it!" ”

Guan Zhen took the package and burst into tears in his eyes instantly.

He asked, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for the trouble." You've seen my child, are you okay? ”

The envoy said: "Outside the court, I have seen it from afar, I have given courtesy from afar, and my bearing is extraordinary, and I have also met his deputy envoys, all of whom are magnificent and noble, and they are rare talents." ”

The envoy continued: "Before leaving, the deputy envoy entrusted me to bring this package, and the chamberlain was present, and also checked the package, in order to avoid suspicion, Ling Lang only asked someone to bring a few words, that is, to let you remember to take care of your body, and physical health is better than anything else." Ling Lang gave me a lot of silver, and I also brought you some Ohara food, you can take it back and enjoy it slowly. Leave! ”

The two said goodbye, and Guan Zhen rushed back to his residence with the package, he missed his son immensely.

He opened the package and saw a pile of food, he put the food aside, and when he opened the other package inside, he saw a pair of knee pads. That was the knee pad that Twilight put on him personally when he first went to the battlefield, but he didn't expect that the kid had been kept to this day, and it was still mostly new.

Guan Zhen held the knee pad in his hand, raised it, buried his head in it, and after a long time, when he raised his head again, his eyes were already red and his cheeks twitched.

"Twilight, on the battlefield, real swords and guns see kung fu, either you die or I die, remember to take care of yourself. Even if there are thousands of enemies and 800 self, you must not be depressed, believe in yourself, believe in the sword in your hand, believe in your own soldiers, and you can fight a bloody way! ”

This was Twilight's first time on the battlefield, and what he said when he brought knee pads to Twilight is as vivid as yesterday. Now that kid is facing jackals, tigers and leopards alone in Dayuan, thinking about his heart, he can't help but feel sad.

Twilight is telling herself that no matter how difficult the situation is, she must protect herself and have hope for him. Of course, he believed in his son, and was full of hope for him, so he slowly lifted his shirt and put on his knee pads.
